Reviews

Svetlana is timely and patient and calm. My daughter loves being taught by a woman in AB Calculus. We highly recommend her!

Lana has been very helpful with reviewing with my daughter's algebra this year. Her level of knowledge is amazing and has helped improve her grade.

The way she describes derivatives and word problems gets me to understand what the word problem is saying. She is an amazing tutor.
